Overview

Fresh from his ?spectacular? (Cleveland Plain Dealer ) debut in Dark of the Moon, investigator Virgil Flowers takes on a puzzling?and most alarming?case, in the new book from the #1 bestselling author. John Sandford's introduction of Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigator Virgil Flowers was an immediate critical and popular success: ?laser-sharp characters and a plot that's fast and surprising? (Cleveland Plain Dealer ); ?an idiosyncratic, thoroughly ingratiating hero? ( Booklist ). Flowers is only in his late thirties, but he's been around the block a few times, and he doesn?t think much can surprise him anymore. He's wrong. It's a hot, humid summer night in Minnesota, and Flowers is in bed with one of his ex-wives (the second one, if you?re keeping count), when the phone rings. It's Lucas Davenport. There's a body in Stillwater?two shots to the head, found near a veteran's memorial. And the victim has a lemon in his mouth. Exactly like the body they found last week. The more Flowers works the murders, the more convinced he is that someone's keeping a list, and that the list could have a lot more names on it. If he could only find out what connects them all . . . and then he does, and he's almost sorry he did. Because if it's true, then this whole thing leads down a lot more trails than he thought?and every one of them is booby-trapped. Filled with the audacious plotting, rich characters, and brilliant suspense that have always made his books ?compulsively readable? ( Los Angeles Times ), this is vintage Sandford.
